Typically hammer drills have a drill/hammer drill setting so you get both functions. Set to drill it just pins the chuck. Set to hammer it spins the chuck and hammers it forward as well.
The hammer drill is great for drilling into concrete, brick, etc.

Thanks. I did look it up and understand now but I've always been wary of a device or tool or anything really that tries to be too many things and multi-functional and ends up being good at none. I took a pass even though in hand it felt like a quality tool.
You agree?
